If you are wondering what the advantages of a metal swing set over a wooden swing set are, here’s a summary:

• Metal swing sets are generally less expensive than wooden swing sets.
• Set up time is greatly reduced. A metal swing set may take 2 – 4 hours, a wooden swing set may take 8 – 12 hours to set up.
• No splinters.
• Possibly more safe, less climbing and high fall worries.

What are the disadvantages of metal swing sets over wooden swing sets?

• They usually do not include a clubhouse. If you are looking for a clubhouse, we recommend picking up something like a Step2 playhouse for the kids.
• No picnic table, sandbox. If you want those other activities, you will need to purchase them separately.

Your swing set purchase decision will ultimately come down to a combination of what you are looking for, how much space you have in your backyard, and your budget.
